#1194 when nesting limit is reached, the LDAP provider tries to establish link to members outside the nesting limit
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by jhrozek.

When SSSD is processing nested group memberships, the back end keeps an array of parents group in LDAP for every group. However, it does save the parents group even when the LDAP nesting level is reached.

The effect is that we would save the deepest nesting level and then attempt to link it to its parents that we never downloaded because they are out of the allowed nesting. Luckily the code is robust so all we get is an error message. The memberships are saved correctly.
